A fire broke out in UAE’s nuclear power plant
A day before this, on Sunday, there was a drone attack on an electrical generator installed outside the inner security circle of Barakah Power Plant, which caused a fire. However, radiological protection levels were not affected and no injuries were reported.
The IAEA had said that the plant’s ‘Unit-3’ was being provided electricity from an emergency diesel generator. The agency had appealed for “maximum military restraint” around any nuclear power plant and said it was closely monitoring the situation.

After the attack, UAE officials said that they were investigating the source of the attack. Describing it as a ‘terrorist attack’, he said that a response will be given to it. UAE has already accused Iran of attacking its energy sites.
After the attack by America and Israel on February 28, Iran is continuously targeting UAE and other Gulf countries where American military bases are present. Civilian and energy infrastructure targets have also been involved in these attacks.
Iran stepped up attacks on the UAE this month after US President Donald Trump announced a naval mission to open the Strait of Hormuz, which was postponed after 48 hours.
Due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, oil from the Gulf countries is not able to reach the rest of Asia, which has created a major oil supply crisis. Due to this, oil prices have increased. After the attack on UAE, oil prices reached $ 111 per barrel. America has also blockaded Iranian ports, which has further increased tension in the region.
What did India say?
India has also expressed concern over the targeting of UAE’s nuclear plant. On Monday, the Foreign Ministry said that this is a ‘dangerous provocation’ amid increasing tension in the Gulf region.
